- FIG. 1 the same cell lines used in Example 1 were used.
- the anti-tumor effect of E7080 was observed particularly in the case where both of BRAF and PTEN have a mutation or loss of expression and in the case where BRAF and PTEN do not have a mutation or loss of expression. It is clear that the anti-tumor effect of E7080 varies between melanoma cells which are classified based on the presence or absence of a mutation in BRAF and PTEN ( FIG. 1 ). It was demonstrated that the presence or absence of a mutation in BRAF and PTEN is used as an indicator for predicting the effect of E7080.
- Human melanoma cell line grafted mouse models were prepared using the human melanoma cell lines used in Example 1 in accordance with the method of Example 2. After grafting, at the time point when a tumor volume reached about 100-300 mm 3 , the mouse was sacrificed with CO 2 and the grafted tumor tissue was excised out by a surgical operation.
- the portion at a distance about 5 mm inside from the periphery of the tumor tissue was cut by knife, the tissue was embedded in OCT Compound.

- washing PBS 0.01 M phosphate buffer containing 0.1% Tween20
- the sample was washed three times with washing PBS, and allowed to react with a biotin blocking solution in the kit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the sample was washed three times with washing PBS and allowed to react with normal serum in VECTOR STAIN ABC peroxidase rat IgG kit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- a primary antibody i.e., an anti-CD31 antibody (name of clone: MEC13.3, rat IgG, PharMingen, BD Biosciences), which was diluted 600 times with a 0.1 M phosphate buffer containing a 1% fetal bovine serum, was added and allowed to react overnight at 4° C.
- the samples were washed, and a secondary antibody labeled with biotin in the kit was added and allowed to react at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- the samples were washed and then further reacted with an avidin reagent in the kit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the samples were washed three times with a 0.01 M phosphate buffer and color was developed with DAB to stain CD31.
- the samples were washed with running water and washed three times with Tris buffer. Thereafter, with the samples, alkali phosphatase-labeled anti- ⁇ -SMA antibody (name of clone: 1A4, mouse IgG, SIGMA-ALDRICH) diluted 100 times with Tris buffer was allowed to react at room temperature for one hour. Thereafter, the samples were washed three times with Tris buffer and color was developed with a fuchsine solution in DAKO LSAB kit to stain ⁇ -SMA.
- alkali phosphatase-labeled anti- ⁇ -SMA antibody name of clone: 1A4, mouse IgG, SIGMA-ALDRICH
- each of the samples stained was placed under a microscope and the number of blood vessels and the number of blood vessels covered with pericytes were counted by a CCD camera HYPER SCOPE (KEYENCE) in e.g., 5 sites per sample, and averaged. The number of blood vessels or pericytes per unit area was obtained. Furthermore, the ratio of the blood vessels with pericytes in the number of the blood vessels was calculated in each melanoma cell line. The results are shown in FIG. 2 . In FIG. 2 , the same cell lines used in Example 1 were used.
- the ratio of the blood vessels covered with pericytes in the tumor tissue tended to differ ( FIG. 2 ). Furthermore, the anti-tumor effect of E7080 and the ratio of the blood vessels covered with pericytes in a tumor tissue were analyzed. As a result, the ratio of the blood vessels covered with pericytes in a tumor tissue exhibited high correlation with the anti-tumor effect of E7080 ( FIG. 3 ). From this, it was suggested that the presence or absence of a mutation or loss of expression in BRAF and PTEN influences the properties of blood vessels in a tumor and varies the ratio of blood vessels covered with pericytes in the tumor.
- E7080 may possibly tend to have an effect on the blood vessels, and that particularly in cases where both of BRAF and PTEN are wild type and where both of BRAF and PTEN have a mutation or loss of expression, E7080 easily produces an effect.
- Example 1 From each of the human melanoma cell lines used in Example 1, total RNA was prepared in the same method as in Example 1 (2) (i) and subjected to the following measurements.

- a low-TE buffer (58 ⁇ L) was added to gene specific Primer/Probe (42 ⁇ L). From the solution, an aliquot (56.25 ⁇ L) was taken. To this, PreAmp Master Mix (112.5 ⁇ L) and the cDNA solution (56.25 ⁇ L) were added. The mixture was allowed to react at 95° C. for 10 minutes, and then, a reaction cycle consisting of a reaction at 95° C. for 15 seconds and a reaction at 60° C. for 4 minutes was repeated 14 times. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was diluted (1:5) with TE buffer, and used as a pre-amplification solution. The obtained pre-amplification solution was subjected to the third stage, PCR.
- a sample solution was prepared by adding Loading Buffer (27.5 ⁇ L) to 2 ⁇ ABI Master Mix (275 ⁇ L) and further adding, to 5.5 ⁇ L of the solution, 4.5 ⁇ L of the pre-amplification solution. Furthermore, an assay solution was prepared by adding 10% Tween to water (4750 ⁇ L), taking an aliquot (5 ⁇ L) from the solution, and adding 20 ⁇ assays (5 ⁇ L) to the aliquot. The sample solution and the assay solution were separately added to 48.48 Dynamic tray and a sample was loaded by NanoFlex ICF controller and thereafter, measurement was performed by Biomark (Fluidigm Corporation).
- a calibration curve was established by use of a mRNA sample prepared by adding equivalent amounts of all samples.
- the expression level of a gene in each of the melanoma cell lines was obtained by calculating Ct (stands for a threshold cycle value which is the number of cycles of PCR required for a PCR product to reach a predetermined concentration) from the calibration curve.
- the expression level of a gene in each melanoma cell line was corrected by ⁇ -actin expression level to obtain an expression level ratio of the gene in the melanoma cell line and used for comparison analysis.
- Human melanoma cell line grafted mouse models were prepared in accordance with the method of Example 2 by using the human melanoma cells used in Example 1. After grafting, in the stage where a tumor volume reached 100 mm 3 or more, the mouse was sacrificed and the tumor tissue grafted was recovered. To the tumor tissue, a cell lysis buffer (purchased from Cell Signaling) was added to prepare a cell sap and stored at ⁇ 80° C. The expression level of ANG1 protein and the expression level of ANG2 protein in the preparation solution and the ratio of them (ANG1/ANG2) were determined by an ELISA Kit (purchased from R&D systems) and quantified based on a calibration curve.

- BRAF “ ⁇ ” includes the results of anti-tumor effects of SK-MEL-2, MeWo, CHL-1, HMV-1 and HMCB cell lines shown in Table 6
- the bar of BRAF “+” includes the results of anti-tumor effects of MDA-MB-435, LOX, G361, FEM, SEKI, SK-MEL-28, A375 and A2058 cell lines shown in Table 6.
- the bar indicated by PTEN “ ⁇ ” includes the results of anti-tumor effects of SK-MEL-2, MeWo, CHL-1, HMV-1, HMCB, MDA-MB-435, LOX, G361, FEM and SEKI cell lines shown in Table 6; whereas a bar indicated by PTEN “+” includes the results of anti-tumor effects of SK-MEL-28, A375 and A2058 cell lines shown in Table 6.
- ANG2 (No. 12 in Table 7) increases in a human melanoma cell line in which PTEN has a mutation ( FIG. 5 ( b )), and the expression level of ANG2 protein (No. 12 in Table 7) significantly increases in a human melanoma cell line in which PTEN has a mutation ( FIG. 5 ( a )).
- ANG1 binds to TIE-2 receptor and the ANG1-TIE-2 signal induces maturation of blood vessels.
- TIE-2 receptor To TIE-2 receptor, ANG2 and ANG1 competitively bind. If ANG2 binds to the receptor, no signal flows downstream. This state becomes equivalent to the state where ANG1 is not expressed (or expression is low).
- BRAF is normal, it is known that a signal of VEGF contributes to angiogenesis and survival, and maturation of blood vessels does not occur
- the ratio (ANG1/ANG2) of the expression level of ANG1 protein and the expression level of ANG2 protein tended to be low in the case where both of BRAF and PTEN are wild type and hi the case where BRAF and PTEN have a mutation or a loss of expression; whereas, the ratio (ANG1/ANG2) tended to be high in the case where BRAF has a mutation or loss of expression and PTEN is wild type ( FIG. 6 ).
- the ratio of expression levels of ANG1 and ANG2 was shown to be significantly low in the case where both of BRAF and PTEN are wild type and in the case where BRAF and PTEN have a mutation or loss of expression. This means that in a mutation or loss of expression of BRAF and PTEN, a combination of mutations likely responsive to E7080 and ANG1/ANG2 exhibit similar tendencies.
- an angiogenesis inhibitor is defined by the presence or absence of a mutation or loss of expression in BRAF and PTEN.
- the ratio of periderm cells around a blood vessel in a tumor tissue decreases.
- expression control of ANG1 and ANG2, which are involved in formation of pericyte-covered blood vessels, is involved in the cause thereof.
- ANG1 is not expressed or the expression level of ANG1 is low, in other words, in the state where BRAF is normal, particularly if FGFR3 is expressed, an FGFR kinase inhibitor is expected to directly kill cancer cells.
- E7080 has a potential to not only inhibit angiogenesis but also enhance an anti-tumor effect in a melanoma patient in which BRAF is normal and FGFR3 is expressed.
- ANG1 is highly expressed, in other words, in the case where BRAF has a mutation or loss of expression, maturation of blood vessels varies depending upon the ANG2 expression; whereas if ANG2 is highly expressed, in other words, in the case where PTEN has a mutation or loss of expression, no maturation occurs because of competitive inhibition by ANG1 and ANG2; conversely, if the expression of ANG2 is low, in other words, in the case where PTEN is normal, maturation of blood vessels occurs.
- E7080 can be predicted based on ANG1 and ANG2 expression levels or the ratio of the expression levels.
- cDNA synthesis and biotin labeling were performed based on the method of Schena et al. (Schena et al., Science, 1995, 270, p. 467-470), the method of Lockhart et al. (Lockhart et al., Nature Biotechnology, 1996, 14, p. 1675-1680) or the latest operation manual of GeneChip (registered trade mark) Array Station manufactured by Affimetrix. Thereafter, hybridization with a DNA microarray (Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array) manufactured by Affimetrix and measurement were performed based on the operation manual to obtain data.
- a DNA microarray Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array
- VEGFR1 significantly increases compared to a control value.
- Example 1 Human melanoma cell lines used in Example 1 were used to prepare human melanoma cell grafted mouse models in the same manner as in Example 2. Total RNA was prepared in the same method as in Example 1 (2) (i) and a quantitative RT-PCR was performed in the same method as in Example 4, Section 1. The name of genes of the angiogenesis factors and angiogenesis factor receptors used herein and the assay ID of the probe purchased are shown in Table 8 and the results are shown in FIG. 7 .
- the expression levels of FGFR3 and FGFR2 significantly decrease from the expression level of a case where BRAF has a mutation and PTEN is wild type. It was thus elucidated that the expression levels of FGFR3 and FGFR2 significantly change when melanoma cells were classified based on the presence or absence of a mutation or loss of expression in BRAF and PTEN ( FIG. 7 ).
